Atheism… it’s worse than pedophiles in the preisthood

American’s increasing acceptance of religious diversity doesn’t extend to those who don’t believe in a god, according to a national survey by researchers in the University of Minnesota’s department of sociology.

From a telephone sampling of more than 2,000 households, university researchers found that Americans rate atheists below Muslims, recent immigrants, gays and lesbians and other minority groups in “sharing their vision of American society.” Atheists are also the minority group most Americans are least willing to allow their children to marry.

I think at least part of the problem here is the lack of human understanding for nothingness. Sure, nothing is just the flip side of something, but absence? void? vacuum? Inconceivable! Much more is fueled by religion’s innate need to control and eliminate opposing viewpoints, human insecurity, and basic tribal behavior, but I still think that null fuels much of this enmity.

When looking for an indication of moral superiority how conveniently many Xians overlook Pat Robinsons repeated calls for the death and punishment of his political opponents, the lack of love and compassion that Jerry Falwell exhibited in the aftermath of 9/11 or Roy Moore’s inablility to place the U.S. Constitution and the welfare of our judicial system above his religious beliefs and personal agenda. A system that actually creates real baby killers (Andrea Yates, Deanna Laney et al), family murderers (David Ludwig, Mary Winkler et al ), terrorists (Eric Rudolph, Paul Hill, Michael Griffin et al) and Pedophiles (James Porter,Joseph Welsh, Francis McManus,James Talbot et al) should be asking what is wrong inside instead of looking for moral bankruptcy outside of itself.
